Akbar seeks concise report of survey

Deccan Chronicle  

Hyderabad: AIMIM leader Akbaruddin Owaisi sought tabling of the caste census report in the Assembly instead of a statement, so that the House could debate it. BCs who have been wronged for long should get justice,” he said, adding “only those who championed their cause have benefited so far.” He pointed out that the previous BRS government had not placed its Samagra Sakutumba Survey report either in the Cabinet or the Assembly and hence it had no sanctity. “Funds that are left unspent should be carried forward and not diverted.” He also demanded that the BC community should get their 42 per cent quota in contracts also. The ceiling of 50 per cent cap on reservations has no constitutional sanctity and BCs should get 50 per cent reservation.” He said that elections to gram panchayats, MPTCs, ZPTCs and municipal corporations need not be held simultaneously and can be staggered as their tenure did not end at the same time.
